XTP T VGA Transmitter • Introduction 2
Key Features
Reliable cable infrastructure — Transmits digitized analog video, audio, bidirectional
RS-232 and IR, and Ethernet up to 330 feet (100 meters) over a single STP cable.
Support for Computer-video to 1920x1200, including HDTV 1080p/60 — Supports
digital signal transmission up to 330 feet over a single twisted pair cable, maintaining
superior image quality at the highest resolutions.
RGB, HD component video, S-video, and composite video signals support
Shielded twisted pair cable compatibility — Optimized for use with common shielded
twisted pair (STP) cable types. XTP systems fully support a maximum transmission distance
of 330 feet (100 meters) for all compatible resolutions when used with shielded twisted pair
cable. Shielded twisted pair cabling with solid center conductor sizes of 24 AWG or better is
recommended for optimal performance.
SD Pro processing — Provides deinterlacing of 480i and 576i signals for compatibility with
HDMI and DVI-equipped displays, without the need for additional scalers.
Digital conversion of analog video and audio input signals — Digitizes analog signals,
ensuring that a reliable, high quality digital video signal is sent to the output destination. The
universal input supports RGB, HD component video, S-video, and composite video signals.
Auto input format detection — Detects the incoming signal format and automatically
converts it to a digital TMDS signal for routing. This feature can reduce the number of
required outputs for an XTP CrossPoint matrix switcher, lowering system cost while
improving manageability.
Universal 15-pin HD input loop-through — Provides a local monitor output, enabling the
input signal to be monitored without the need for a separate distribution amplifier.
Bidirectional RS-232 and IR insertion — Allows a remote display to be controlled without
the need for additional cabling through bidirectional RS-232 control and IR signals inserted
into the XTP output.
EDID Minder — Automatically manages EDID communication between connected devices
to ensure that all sources properly power up and reliably display content.
Ethernet extension — Centralized 10/100 Ethernet communication can be implemented
via an Ethernet pass-through port to reduce the amount of independent network drops
required within a system.
Remote power capability — To simplify integration, the XTP T VGA can be powered by
an XTP CrossPoint matrix switcher or XTP Power Injectors.
Audio input gain and attenuation — Allows the level of gain or attenuation to be set,
eliminating noticeable volume differences when switching between sources.
EDID and HDCP transmission — DDC channels are actively buffered, allowing
continuous communication between source and display.
XTP integrated system products compatibility — An XTP System is a flexible, reliable
signal switching and distribution system that provides a completely integrated solution for
multiple digital and analog formats.
